The Knox County Board of Zoning Appeals meeting on October 28, 2026, included officer elections, with Sherry Garrett elected chair and Curtis Brown elected vice chair, followed by hearings on zoning variance requests. The board denied Shane Cobb’s lot-intensity request for 5218 Luttrell Road and voted to refund the application fees; it also denied Michael Christopher’s lot-intensity request. A height-variance request for 1629 Capital Boulevard was withdrawn after discussion of a possible way to bring the structure into compliance. For a multifamily development, the board rejected a request to reduce the front-yard setback from 35 feet to 20 feet, then passed a motion to deny it. For a separate request to reduce the setback at 2817 Williams Road from 50 feet to 32 feet, a motion to approve was made and seconded, but the transcript ends before the vote or decision is recorded. No procurement activity was identified.
